Sorry I forgot to say FTM, Hoping (if all goes well) NUCB in a hospital. Was really hoping for a water birth but we are going as close to it as we can. Not much advice other than doing some reading of both regular delivery and csection, being prepared is always best. Have a good support team for whatever you decide, it is so important to have. and ALWAYS keep an open mind.

We are due Feb 15th with our second baby. First was a Natural UnMed birth at the hospital that we had to "fight" for, this time we are at different hospital with a more natural birth minded team of midwives so hopefully we will have more support and less opposition :) if not we will fight again!

I'm due the 23rd with my 4 th. this will be my first NUCB though. This board is an awesome resource both for info and support. If you're delivering in a hospital, you may want to read "natural hospital birth". I found it very informative.

I'm due Feb 8th...planning a NUCB water birth at a hospital with a MW. This is my 4th pg, 3rd baby. I'm planning on laboring at home as long as possible before heading in (it's what I accidentally did with DD#2 and ended up with NUCB ). Even though my experience with DD#1 (pit/epi) wasn't horrible, natural was just a better route in the end.

For #2-Contractions were 5 minutes apart and about 30-45 sec long before I called DH to come home from work, which was a 10 min drive from our house. Due to nature of his job, it took about an hour or so before he was able to come home to take me to hospital, which was a 1-2 minute drive from our house. Got there and I was 8cm-no chance of an epi then!
